first up im sanding all joints and making sure they fit properlly i.e glovebox and then sanding the body, only the fiberglass and just so its smooth enough to stop me getting splinters, cuz its in a show in april so i want it to be smooth.

first class back on the today, buttt i forgot my catlyst so no fiberglassing, instead i made some adjustments
i cut out the lower section for the storage compartment, and the gauges screwed up on me, sooo i cut them out and cut some more PVC pipe for the new holders, then i thought, hey why not try them in a triangle, so i did, butt now i cant decide which i like better!!!! what do you guys reckon in a triangle or side by side
and im also considering putting a 7" screen on the passenger side cus atm its preety plain and boring. first i gotta find one! god my 600 dollar budget has gone through the roof and up into space lol but meh i got one chance make it cool!!!
cheers guys
